New York Sun.
Washington is awaiting with some
interest the arrival of the delegate from
No Mans Land. A great many people
will be surprised to learn that there is
such q province under the shadow of the
American flag. 1t will only be found
under that name on the Older maps. 1t
is the disputed strip of country north of
the pan handle of Texas. whose inhabi~
tants recently held a convention and
elected officers. A territorial delegate IS
on his way here to ask for scat i'll con-
gress and admission for their sec
ton into the United States as
the territory of Cimarron. The name is
derived from the largest river which
flows through the proposed territory.
This land appears on the maps at the IN
terror department as public land. 1t
is a parallelogram thirty miles wide.
larger than the state of Delaware and
nearly as large as New jersey. 1t Is
bounded on the north by Colorado and
Kansas, on the east by Indian Territory,
on the south by Texas, and ON the west
by New Mexico. The Cimarron river
rises near the northwestern boundary
and empties into the Arkansas river IN
the Indian Territory.
Cinarron territory came into the pos
session of the United States in 1918 I'M
der what is known as the Florida treaty
with Spain, by which treaty we secured
Florida but lost Texas The proposed
territory of Cimarron is the most sys-
tematical division of the United States.
Not far to the south of it. III Texas and
in New Mexico, is the high table land
known as the Llano Estacado, or ''staked
plains which forms the eastern base of
the Rocky mountains and rises to the
height of over 1900 feet. The vote of
the new delegate will be Democratic.

Cincinnati Enquirer.

CINCINNATI enquirer.
The body of an old and respected citi-
zen, Mr.. John Galvangi, was cremated
at the crematOey, on Dixmyth avenue.
yesterday morning. The cremation was
arranged to take place at o'clock. but
owing to the impossible condition of the
roads. and the fact that the Clifton cable
is being laid on Ludlow avenue, the
funeral cortege was compelled to go
around by Browne street. and it was
fully Il o'clock before the hearse bear
ing the corpse, followed by fifteen car
riages. wound up the steep hill and de-
posted its burden at the house for incin-
Grafton.
The coffin was taken into the incinera-
ton furnace, and remained for a few
minutes. where the friends of the family
gazed upon the familiar features for the
last time. Rev. Hugo q. Elsenlohr, pas
tor of the German Evangelical Protest
ant church, on the northwest corner of
Twelfth and Elm streets, made few
remarks and the corpse was removed
into the preparatory room. where it was
laid out of the coffin on an iron Stretcher.
about six feet long, and covered with
linen sheet soaked IN a solution OF alum
Flowers We're placed on the breast, and
the attendants, transporting the body to
the front of the furnace. opened the two
large iron doors and showed the stretcher
and its contents into the oven. The
doors were quickly closed, and in an
hour and fifteen minutes the body, which
i'll life weighed go pounds. was reduced
to four pounds of ashes. Today they
will be gathered up and placed by the
family of the deceased in the family lot
at Spring Grove cemetery.
1t was the wish of the deceased that
his remains be cremated. and although
some members of the family objected to
this method of disposing of the dead. vet
at q family conference Difference was
paid to the fathers wishes.
\ great crowd of people was present.
and among them one old lady who said
she had never been TO a cremation before
why. thought they were all atheists, ;"
she said. but | see preacher here.
"Oh. yes. madam: this Is the fifth
clergyman that has conducted religious
services at the crematory. The old
lady was much pleased. and declared
that she was religious woman. but be-
lieved in cremation.
This is the tenth cremation that has
TRANSFERRED in this city.

remark that is frequently made that peo-
pie do sometimes arrive at the same con-
cluSion by reasoning from different
propositions. a great many people come
to the conclusion that because so many
Industries have been established in
Wichita during this year, and that be-
cause of her unprecedented building
boom that Wichita must as a matter of
fact be great city. The Times con-
cludes that Wichita is a great city be-
cause one of her drug firms sold 2.O0O.-

A san Pedro Special HUNS into
Three Flat Cars.
Yesterday evening about half.past
seven o'clock a special freight train from
San Pedro ran into three fiat cars, which
had been left without lights or attend
ance on Alameda street, between Third
and Fourth streees. The special train
consisted of thirty freight cars in charge
of Thomas Hearst, conductor. Fred
Spearer aud Ed. Bonner, brakemen, and
the engine, No. Al, was in charge OF Jack
Hutchinson, engineer, and Charles Cul.
len, fireman. The special left San Pedro
on time, aud was q triae ahead OF time
in its arrival in the city. 1t was going
rather slowly, and when within short
distance of tho fiat cars the engineer
thought be saw something dark ahead
on the track, so he put on the brakes.
A moment later the cars loomed up and
he reversed the engine, and he and
the fireman swung themselves OF
lust as the crash came. For q
few moments the air was filled
with fragments of broken fat cars, and
after the dust and smoke had settled, II
was found that the top of one of the
fiat cars had landed right on top of the
locomotive. The strangest part of the
affair was that while the smoke stack
sand box, whistle and bell had beer
broken off by the fiat car, not particle
of the machinery had been injured MOI
had the glass of the cab been broken o.
cracked. The thre fiat cars were |
total wreck and were in various posi-
tions about the track, and with the ex
ception of the injury to the engine, the
special train was unhurt. A wreckinl
train cleared the track before midnight
